As a Carrier, what I can say is that if a so called “A†or “B†load pays well enough to put on a straight truck - or even a semi truck for that matter, obviously the carrier will absolutely do whatever the carrier can do - to load the cargo van first, because under most circumstances, it...

Thanks y'all! Bigdaddy98, what I'll tell you is that since about April of 2006, we lost one team to a blown engine, one team to a fleece purchase, one very dear team who retired and one T/T solo to his owner getting his own authority. So far, that is the extent of our "driver turnover" in the...

Not sure what state all this happened, but I know that if it's Michigan, go to the Mi. Dept of Labor - if you get to the correct extension, they'll do what needs to be done to get you your money for you. As far as I know, throughout the USA, legally your employer must pay you for work that...

Perhaps this makes more sense now.......... http://www.expeditersonline.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=4585&forum=DCForumID1 Hang in there - where ever you are, greener grass is just over the (sometimes very high) horizon! Best of luck to all drivers everywhere! - and...

I agree with nightcreacher about exclusive use is edpediting. "Expedite freight" and "Exclusive use" are two completely different things. Roadway, UPS, Fedex Ground, CCX, Haulin Assets, Forward Air, etc. etc. etc. the list goes on forever - are a testament to that fact. Every one of them...

Let me bump this back to the top to ask "more questions"... Say there's 3 Expediters sittin' ina truck stop... 1 tractor, 1 straight truck, and one cargo van/Sprinter. All are signed on with the same co. all are solo drivers. all of them have hours available. 500 mile trip comes up, any of...

I’d never back off the trailer brakes - the trailer can just as easily come around on you if the trailer brakes are backed off because the trailer will want to keep on going while your tractor is attempting to hold it back – resulting in a jack knife. All the brakes on the entire rig should...

Greg, It hasn't worked for us, Lord knows we have tried. However once, we had a driver who was on down time at home, go to the FL in Houston to get a condensor for the FL in Harlingen. But once he brought them the part, somehow, the Harlingen FL ended up actually having the part in stock...

That's gotta be some kind of record - no? Same date? Awesome!

RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working I'm sure I just missed this - but - could someone post exactly what their new FSC program is that is not working out for the drivers?

Bigjoe - and all, Thanks for the flowers! Be safe out there!

Hi all! The significant increase in available freight has happened once again - especially over the last two to three months - which personally, I attribute in large part to the industry’s cyclical nature - especially as we enter into the last quarter of 2006. Historically speaking, the...

Blacktiger, They weren't all paid miles, there was 8% dead head this week for them. Do they sound like they are only making enough for fuel and repairs? Hey Chet! Glad all is going well for you - be sure to post a few pics of that new Pete when you can! Shawn, nice to see you're still...

Hmmmm - sounds like a case of ISO 9000 - on steroids. Perhaps an overdose.:+

Turtle, I would say that you are not completely “dead wrongâ€, but since I am of the opinion that some of your misconceptions are common among drivers, I’ll propose the following scenario with the hope that you’ll better understand the position of the...

USF has an expediting side, HELP is the name. They are out of Flint, MI

Anyone know who invented HHG miles? Must've been a crook - and should be locked up! Just my .02

Dave, I feel we should get 100% FSC they charge the customer because we are paying the fuel not FedEx. I'm not trying to be a smart arse, I am merely dropping my .02 into the mush pot....................... If my guess is correct, some customers will not only refuse to pay any fsc, but some...

in fact they said they dont have any loads coming out of idaho, ( so why send us there? ) if you cant get us out, Simply put, they sent you there because they make big money at it. Please, do not take this as me being a smart arse because honestly, I am only asking...............As an...

Hi Dave! Actually, none of the loads I mentioned were NLM loads - as they never, with very, very few exceptions, ship out of the north west as far as I know. The loads I am speaking of were either offers or phoned in. Most were runs past the Mississippi, some went to Los Angeles, all would...
